Book Synopsis Estimation of Vertical Wind Shear from Infrared and Microwave Radiances by : Hans A. Panofsky

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear regression estimates of radiosonde observed vertical wind shears between mandatory levels were made, using radiance gradients obtained via the TIROS-N satellite as predictors in a pilot experiment based on about 200-500 observations. The best results were obtained for shears between 850 mb and a level in the upper troposphere, such as 300 mb. Results were similar for 850-400 or 850-200 mb shears, but notably inferior for 850-500 mb shears. The linear correlation coefficients between estimated and smoothed observed components of shear was about 0.70, corresponding to about 50 percent explained variance in independent test samples. Somewhat higher explained variances (about 0.60) were achieved in a limited trial where the data-set was stratified according to subjectively-judged trajectory curvature. Estimates of the wind itself in the upper troposphere were nearly as skillful as the best shear results. Overall, with the possible exception of curvature-stratified estimates in clear regions, both wind and wind shear estimates are not likely to be superior to methods that generate RMS wind errors of order 5m/s. Most of the information was contributed by the linear combination of microwave channel 2 minus microwave channel 3. Some additional information may be obtainable from the infrared (HIRS-2) channels 3, 4 and 5 (especially 5). (Author).

Book Synopsis Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences by : Wade H. Shafer
Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 29 (thesis year 1984) a total of 12,637 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 202 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 29 reports theses submitted in 1984, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Synopsis Determination of Vertical Wind Shear from Linear Combinations of Satellite Radiance Gradients by : Henry E. Fleming
Download or read book Determination of Vertical Wind Shear from Linear Combinations of Satellite Radiance Gradients written by Henry E. Fleming and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By applying the thermal wind equation to the radiative transfer equation, one can derive the vertical wind shear from horizontal gradients of radiances measured by satellite. The vertical resolution of the wind shear can be optimized by using linear combinations of radiance gradients. A theoretical study was conducted to determine the optimal pressure intervals over which wind shears could be resolved when using weighting functions associated with the SSH sounder of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, and those associated with the TOVS instrument package on the TIROS-N/NOAA series of operational satellites. Two distinct computational approaches are presented and their respective results are summarized. (Author).

Book Synopsis Analysis and Specification of Slant Wind Shear by : H. Albert Brown
Download or read book Analysis and Specification of Slant Wind Shear written by H. Albert Brown and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind data have been analyzed to produce frequencies of occurrence of slant wind shear with respect to surface wind speed, time of day, vertical temperature gradient and wind shear direction differences. Slant wind shear (SWS) is a measurement that more closely approximates the shear encountered by an aircraft on takeoff or landing. It is computed as the wind shear between a higher level wind (in this study, 60 m) and the surface separated by a horizontal distance equivalent to that which an aircraft would traverse in descending or ascending that height. Additional study was also completed on the specification of slant wind shear along the runway through the use of an offset towersurface site system.

Book Synopsis Direct Determination of Wind Shears from the Gradients of Satellite Radiance Observations by : George Ohring
Download or read book Direct Determination of Wind Shears from the Gradients of Satellite Radiance Observations written by George Ohring and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the extent that the wind field is close to geostrophic, the thermal wind is a good approximation of the vertical wind shear (vertical variation of the horizontal wind). And since the thermal wind is proportional to the horizontal temperature gradient, the possibility exists of determining it from satellite radiance observations. Several different methods are developed for retrieving thermal winds directly from the horizontal gradients of satellite radiance observations. The methods are applied to the determination of thermal winds in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over the White Sands Missile Range area. A special series of about 30 concurrent sets of radiance observations from the NOAA-4 VTPR instrument and wind shears from radiosonde observations, distributed throughout one year, is used for these tests. The results obtained with these direct methods are compared with results obtained with: (1) a traditional method, in which temperature profiles are first retrieved from the satellite radiances and the thermal winds are then obtained from the horizontal gradients of the retrieved temperatures, and (2) a linear regression between observed radiance gradients and observed wind shears.
